You must scan your Ur SD CARD or Mount your Phone in PC and scan with Eset Antivirus it must be a virus hiding your Media
---------- Post added at 04:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 PM ----------
After Scan use this command
attrib -h -r -s /s /d <Drive Letter*>:\*.*

anyone??????
For me this happens when I first boot up. It shows that there is no music in play music, and no pics in the gallery app. I usually just wait, and it fixes it self. Idk why this would work, but try using a file explorer (I us es file explorer) and playing a couple of songs through that. One time play music recognized my songs after doing that, but I don't know if it was because of that.

There's a setting somewhere in system settings that you can switch to use internal storage. I've never had a problem and with the os recognizing media with that checked. Requires a reboot though.

Try to view your sd card from a computer or a file browser, look for sd card1 , sdcard2 .. if you have this its just because of the new
base through the cm10 system. It no longer uses EMMC as the path, easiest fixes are under settings-advanced-use internal storage or copy sd card1 into sdcard0 where the path is looking for music and pictures. That should fix it!! Try to reinstall cm10 if that didnt work, fresh wipe, and before your phone boots up the first time, pull the sd card out and let it boot completely then add the sd card back. GOOD LUCK

Im going to need some more info to better assist you then.
Of course you have the moto photon..
What kernel are you using? 1.3 should be the only one stable for a daily driver.
Try re-dowloading the rom from Jokersax.com and do a complete hard reset in CWM recovery.
Please verify you are using the jokersax recovery v3 NOT V4 .. v4 has a known issue when flashing gapps.
Try to do the hard reset 2x before doing any flashing. Hard reset all, clear the devlik cash as well 2x to avoid any issues.
At this point, going into mounts and storage you might want to go ahead and mount and format ALL the storage locations, pull the sd card out so it dosnt recieve a wipe. You may also want to remove your media from the sd card , format and only move back the DCIM picture folder for now.
Once your to that point, install cm10.. do not do anything else.. boot up and test the rom for boot, once you have boot, just go back into recovery and start flashing anything you need. i suggest the latest gapps, the cdma data fix, and mms fix 2 try this.. then re-boot and allow android to upgrade your fixes. once you have booted, go into the settings and choose the advanced-use internal.
Open voice dialer and say open APNS ( once opened it should be BLANK ) i know dont worrie, just hit your menue button and click return to deafault, then re-boot and your data connection, mms and pic mail all should be perfect. Add the sd card in and open gallery. give it time to refresh, mine took almost 2 minutes for pictures to load. If not i would use ( ROM TOOLBOX) or equivilent app that will allow you to browse your directorys with full access to make copys or rename items. Find the storage location and find the sdcard0 and sdcard1.. make a copy of the dcim folder in the sdcard1 that actually has the pictures there, and copy the folder to the other side as well so they are identical.. ICS doesnt look for EMMC anymore and is designed to have the two spaces for memory to support some apps..
Reboot after the copy and try to veiw pictures and music.. Apollo music is my favorite but seems to have some issues working well with google play music as well.. it seems if you run one dont run the other one unless you have closed the process out, I HAD ALOT OF FC issue without doing that each time.. Also use ROM MANAGER to run a fix permissions or do it inside the Recovery mode.
Verifiy some of this information for me and we can get this straightend out.. If you feel that ive helped or resolve the issue let me know!!

Also i forgot to mention to copy the music as well. I would do ALL the copy work from inside the phone not from a computer at this point knowing that the computer does not see the storage spaces correctly, ROM TOOLBOX PRO has given me the best results.. Also try NOT having internal storage selected first and see what shows up if anything. You can also keep the card out and take a picture to see what side your phone uses to view/save the photos and thats the place old pictures need to be as well to be viewed.. I know you might be frustrated at this point but take each step one by one and see what has changed and the results that came from the change.. i didnt do ANY build prop edits, any changes to the rom and have EVERYTHING running on my mypho.. (even videocam records for me on 3rd part app and mapping) PM me if you need links to downloads and if im in good coverage i can let you pull from my drop box privately if needed.. GOOD LUCK

Where are you downloading your apps from? Are you using the Google Play Store? Ive never seen a screen like that one before which is why Im asking.
yes i use google play and every app that need to change some score of one game end like this for ex. this star wars angry birds
do i need to root my s3 or sth

Oh I see... This is an "unlock tool" for Angry Birds... Hmmm... I just looked on the Play Store and it says that you dont need root for this app to work so I dont think thats it.
It DOES say that you must complete at least 1 level of the game for the tool to work however... Have you completed at least one level?
yes i copmpleted half game but it must be phone's problem becouse every time is says EACCES Permission denied problem

Hmmmm... Ok... I think I may know why this is not working. By the looks of it, that unlock app (and others like it) needs to access the external SD card to store data and unfortunately... The SGSIII has no native access to the external SD card (cant move apps or game data etc to the external card) so it is failing. I MAY be wrong but I have a sneaky suspicion thats why this is happening to you either that OR perhaps rovio has blocked these apps from unlocking the levels in their games...
---------- Post added at 02:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:49 PM ----------
Yup... The more I read that link you gave me the more I am seeing that this issue has to do with needing to be able to write info to the external SD card and again... natively we CANNOT do do on the SGSIII.
i think thats problem too do you know how could i solve that by removing sd card or reinstlling apps? .....or wipe*'?

There are some posts here in the forum that give you a tutorial on how to switch the external and internal cards thereby allowing you access to the card but other than doing something like that you may be out of luck. Search here in the Q and A thread and you will find them. Read and try is the best answer I can give you my friend...

[Q] Per HTC I have unique unknown issue - help?

When I install apps on my device and move them to phone storage (/mnt/sdcard/ i believe as apps can no longer be moved to the external sd), if I restart the device any application that has been moved is gone. The icon is still there but when I select it I get a message that says "application is not installed." Verizon & HTC both told me it was an unknown issue - but it's now happened to me on 2 consecutive devices, both of which I've done a factory data reset on, and the second time I also wiped my external sd card.
Any ideas? I'd love to know if this is something I'm doing with my settings, or if my google profile is corrupt, or if this has happened to anyone other than me. Would rooting help? That's the next step anyway just to see (or S-OFF?) Thanks in advance for any responses.

this sounds like your sd card is on its way out. have you tried a different card to see if its the problem? Is said card formated FAT32??

i tried deleting the external card via the phone's data reset mechanism, but haven't tried a different card yet - I didn't think that could be the issue because the apps are moved to "phone storage" not the external sd, but i will try that next.
how do i know if it's FAT32? i saw this thread for formatting and will do when i get home, but is there a way to check using the phone?

idk how to check via phone, might have an app for it.
but when you move app to sd it adds some data to .android folder that is stored on the external SD card.
try pulling everything off the card and put it on the pc, format via windows pc, then put the stuff back and try it out. if you can get a different card and try that.
I am rooted and am running CyanogenMod (0717) and my apps sometimes just disappear. I have noticed with one app in particular. My Play Music app seems to just disappear off the face of the earth (metaphorically speaking). I thought to myself, "Hmm, maybe I just uninstalled it by accident.". Because I have done some pretty crazy things while I was asleep or just plain old being me. I went to the Play Store and found it on there and I noticed that the Play Store said it wasn't installed. I went and tried to install it. I got an error code (-24). I went and researched it and it actually never disappeared. (Well kind of didn't) I went into /data/data/ and found it sitting right there. The folder to the application was still there, but it appears that the OS lost track of it. It almost seems as if it forgot it was there. (But of course that is almost impossible for a machine that is coded to do something cannot possibly forget like that. The error code I received was saying that the app folder existed and couldn't be overwritten. Sorry if I invaded in this thread, but it is just similar experience. Did you try and reinstall the missing apps and see what happened? Did you get an error code like I did? And I am assuming you are on 4.0.4 (stock) OS, yes?

Ok so we're going to go deep and nasty with this here. So far you've ruled out rom based issues since you've moved from the stock RUU to CM10.1nightly(I suggest running mdmowers builds honestly). I too had a weird issue with getting apps to move from "internal" to "phone" storage(both are internel to the phone, just different partiitons). The next few things are based on my dealings with embeded linux and flash hardware.
First are you using the SDcard partition swap patch supplied by jose51197? If so, this could be a wacky thing where the linkings are going bad because of a failing SDcard and that could be your problem.
Secondly, are you runnign out of space in the /mnt/secure/asec and /data/ partition and your phone is doing wacky things because of this? Check by plugging your phone into a computer with ADB installed on it and do "./adb shell df /data" and "./adb shell df /mnt/secure/asec". If they report very little space, usually apps start failing silently because they've got no space to write their added data.
If neither of these things are the case, then its the phones internal flash memory that is failing. This does happen, usually though only because of excessive writting and deleteing things(app churn, text messages with auto delete on, testing multiple roms) from the internal memory, and can only be dealt with by getting a new phone.
Best of luck.

No they aren't installed on the SD card and I haven't seen it happen for a couple days. But in response to jiggz88, by apps failing silently, do you mean they open and they close suddenly without notice? Or that they just don't exist. I was using the unofficial mdmower builds when CyanogenMod was going through some rough times and apps such as Play Music would close suddenly without notice. Especially when you entered My Library or Radio on it. Is that what you were referring to? Or just not showing up at all in the installed apps (or whatever).

that's definitely different from my issue. Play Music has never been one of the apps that disappears because I can't move it to phone storage partition at all. also not that error code, it only tells me "application is not installed" nothing else. by checking available memory it doesn't appear that the apps actually get uninstalled as no more space is available after they are magically uninstalled, it's just that the system no longer recognizes that they're there. yes stock 4.0.4 OS. when i reinstall the "missing" apps they reinstall and work just fine until the device reboots (which has happened 3x in the last 24 hrs) and then they are "gone" again. hoping to try reformatting ext sd card tonight or tomorrow if i can finish enough work first; if that doesn't work will root.

I know there are loads of threads about this but they are no help for me sence i cant apparently install any apps either. It just gives me an error saying somthing like this "storage space is full" but it is not because i have an empty sd card in the slot. I am running 4.1 kitkat if i remember correctly.

Tried both and didnt work. Im not sure because android insist there is no storage at all... but obviously there is because android is on this device.
Ok.... dunno why but i can install the twitch app just fine... but everytime i restart the device it still goes trough the first time setup and such. Anyone got anything? Btw i think i said the wrong version. Its 4.1.1 jellybean.
Try reflashing the software yourself If you are rooted. Best bet.
or else try giving customer service a visit they might helf also.

[Q] New Venue 8 with 4.4.2

Just got a new dell venue 8 with 4.4.2 on it. I also bought a 64gb micro sd card for it. Having a issue getting anything to move to it. I am new to android and the reason I got the tablet is for the sd card expansion which I now not able to use. Is there something I am missing or is this locked. Seems odd to have this expansion sd if you can't access it easily.
Thanks for your help on this one.

Yes it shows up there but when I try to move anything I get a error file permission not able to write. I did format the sd card a couple of times in the venues settings thinking maybe that was the issue. It shows up there too but all i can do is format it. So not sure why that write error comes up no matter what i try to move to it.

so that problem is a new "feature" that comes with kitkat
to fix it you can install this xposed module

you will also have to root your tablet and install the xposed framework

Thanks for the info now for another question how do I root this dell tablet. Have been reading a lot of sites saying they have had no luck with rooting this device. Or maybe they are just as new as I am to all this.

Interesting, I guess I never ran into this problem as I only use root apps to edit sdcard.

You have to root your tablet before you can use root apps, I gave you a link on how to root your tablet.

Not sure what happened I started up the tablet and there was a ton of updates from Dell so I did those and now i can access the sd card and move stuff to it. Not sure what was in all the updates one was a firmware update but seems they corrected the issue and I don't have to go and root the device for this function. Odd how that worked out but thanks for all the help. I will in time more than likely root the device but until I get better with this OS I will be happy I can just move stuff over to the sd card.

I just download a nonrooted file manager and can write to sdcard no problem, perhaps I always could, never tried to use nonrooted file manager before.
